Excerpt: Whether you go for the laughs, the singing, or because your girlfriend makes you, I have a hunch you will walk out of the theater realizing you just had a good time for the past two hours – even if you were secretly rooting for Das Sound Machine

Excerpt: For a sequel that can’t be the mic-drop the original was, “Pitch Perfect 2” is more than copacetic for those who still find themselves quoting the first one. If you liked it the first time, you’ll probably like it again.

Excerpt: Pitch Perfect 2 can be labelled as somewhat of a disappointment, purely because it lacks the first film’s certain X factor magical quality and follows a path that’s far more predictable this time around. However, there’s still plenty to enjoy here particularly for die-hard fans of the last film who, let’s face it, are going to be making up much of the audience.

Excerpt: The first Pitch Perfect was a surprise hit with both critics and audiences back in 2012, and for better or worse this is roughly the same movie. Anyone looking for further development of these characters might be disappointed, but if you’re content with an if-it-ain’t-broke re-hash of what worked the first time around you shouldn’t be disappointed here.
